Hi,
as I read, sequence diagrams are relatively new in eclipse umltools. I'd
like to know where to find examples for generating 'sequence' diagrams
in eclipse. These are not included in samples bundle yet.
I don't understand how that concept works, especially how to link
lifelines to objects (regardless if java pojos or ecore model classes).
How can I select an operation of a lifeline object, which is modelled in
a class diagram, for a sequence diagram message? Problem is, that no
Message name (or operation name) is shown on message arrow (see
attachment: instead of * there should be 'b.operation(p: String) or sth.
like that).

Furthermore, if I remember UML2 specification correctly, I'll think a
synchronous message has a shaped arrowhead and an asynchronous message
has a lined arrowhead, i.e. UML2Tools implemented it the other way round.

Thanks for your advices!

appendix:
I use EMF version 2.5.0, UML2 version 3.0.1 and UML2 Tools version 0.9.1

Now I want to use UML2 Tools properly but the drawing of sequence diagrams is very buggy. Is it on purpose not to show the name of the message in the diagram? Furthermore, like above: the specification of UML2 says that Asynchronous Messages have an open arrow head and Synchronous Messages are shown with a filled arrow head, see: http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/2.2/Superstructure/PDF/, page 495.

Now the question: Are there plans to fix these problems? Or does anyone know a software that is comparable with UML2 Tools?

I'm thankful for any advice.]]>Anne Baumgrass2010-01-25T16:25:12-00:00
